Ny Lord,~In obedience to your lord: ship's instructions dated y 20th, 178, wherein is specified that doubts being entertained = whether Carleton Island or Kingston, is the most eligible situation for the king's ships- obwar to protect the navigation of Lake Ontario, and the upper part of fhe River Sf. Lawrence, | am to make this particularly an object of my attention, and report how far it may be necessary to occupy either or both; and what works | judge adwis able for that purpose." 1, therefore, lost no time in going into this in- vestigation, but before 1 proceed to stato the result, I would beg leave to promise as well with respect to this as to other ohjeets of my instructions that when speaking on subjects pure ly naval, I cannot be supposed to do it with that comfidence which might be éxpected from a professiohal man; what 1 have to say on: this head must therefore be considered in some degree as a detail of snch information as I have been able to procure; con- nected, however,' with the observa. tions T have mysel! made on the spot, but I do not, on any account. mean to insinuate, that I shall shrink from giving an opinion of my own; on the contrary, | shall never advance any doctrine or opinion which 1 do not myself think well founded; I shall, therelore, without further preface pro- ceed to state to your lordship such rticulars as may be necessary to orm 8 comparative view of the two posts here before mentioned. * Kingston And Carleton Island. With respect to Kingston, what is there called the harbor, and where the town is laid out, is not the situation on this side for vessels, as it lies rather open to the luke and-hus not very good anchorage near the en. trance, so that they are cbigwd to run a good way up for shelter and where there is but little water; they may, however, lay safe; but the most eligible situation here for naval pur- poses is the cove immediately to the eastward (marked A), therefore in what I shall have further to remark the properties of a harbor here, is latter situation is to be under as to. It is remarked (speaking both of Kingston and Carleton Islagul) that the wind here blows from the east- ward upon an average at least three fourths of the year, sometimes vary- ing a few points either 10 the north or south, it is said to have been ob- served in general it is to the south of west in the ing and to the north of west in the fall; in this cnee from the different positions of Carle ton leland and Kingston, as there is about two points the ecompuss dif- ference in the course 'from thence in- to the open lake; from the former it being nearly south-west, a little west: erly and from the latter about south south-west so that it should appear from the foregoing remark on the general state of the winds that it is more favorable for getting into the lake from Carleton Island in the spring, and from Kingston in the fall; the safety of the navigation is in either case nearly or quite equal; the distance also from either place into the lake ja nearly the same. Vessels may be sooner tered in the har bor at Carleton Island than at King- ston and on that account micht be sooner warped in or out, but on the other hand it has been observed at Kingston that there is very frequent ly early in the morning a light north- erly land breeze with which vessels might be carried out of the harbor with great facility and dispatch, in either case when they are clear of the barbor, they must have a leading wind to carry them into the lake; they cannot beat up either from Carle ton Island or Kingston--at least the present vessels cannot. The harbors both at Kingston and Carleton Island are safe, commodious, and well sheltered, the neck B would be perhaps a ood situation for store houses and other naval buildings, but 1 am not quite satisfied that it could be in all respects equal to that at Carleton Island, the former in some places is low and wet, the greater part, however, is rocky; the latter is low, but it is a flat rock and dry, but the former is by no means a bad Hituation ae for as may be requisite or navel purposes, there is sufficient depth in both harbors for vessels of any moderate draft of water, but it is as with respeet to of th a in general, that schooners fgom 80 to 100 tons would best an- swer the purpose; but if an enemy. has those two posts ns to the navigation also vessels upon the lake, then the nature and force of ours must, 1 imagine, be proportioned to the sort of vessels we may have to oppose. -- Carleton Island's Advan .. . Having now. brought forward all the material information and ohservations I have been able to make and pro- cure, and having fly weighed the several properties both at Kingston {and Carleton Island relative to gaval | purposes only, it at present remains to draw that conclusion which the mises may seem to warrant: in do- ng this there appears some difficulty; many circumstances are very nicely | balenced, nevertheless after maturely | considering the whole of what has | been remarked on this subject. | cane AS TO WHETHER KINGSTON | i a © DAILYBRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, MAKCH 23. : Frees Tor whatever could at any lime bers not seem work 6f any great capacity, some: thing, however, of good t, be constructed here for or hundred men, - harbour attempts of an enemy on this side, | but it could not prevent their taking post within fourteen or fiiteen hundred rds, at the back of the town of ingston, and bombarding the navy yard and shipping in the harbor, neith- er do I see that this could be any way prevented but by such a comphi- cated and extensive system of works as 1 imagine would not be thought expedient to adopt, nor could 1 under take to recommend. ---- Couldn't Stop Enemy. Neither Carleton' lsland or King- ston, orindeed any other situation 1 have been able to discover could be capable of preventing an enemy's ves i river St. Law- rence from the lake; the channels are too wide and the wind in general, as well as the' current in their favour, -- but, 1 am, nevertheless, of opinion that the best station for the king's ships of war to be reddy 16 act lor the protection of the navigation of the lake, and the part of the river St. Lawrence is--Carleton 1. In regard to the present condition of the works at this post the Whole is now' so far in ruins as to be altogether defenceloss and irreparable; the ditch, which is in the rock, has never been sufficiently excavated, the other worka have been completed, but it strikes me that they never were capable of any serious de- fente, as well from the smallness of the bastions as the oblique manner in which their faces ave seen from the other works; but the whole could be considered as a matter ; the green logs with which the fort was built, could not be expected to last long: the ground is favorable for a fort of great capacity and ngth but it is probable that such a sys tem 'may have been originally adopt ed for the works at this place, and might then have been thought ade quate to its importance, to the num- ber of troops designated for its he- fence, and the strength it was likely an enemy might be able to bring against it: and these ideas must again be brought into consideration if the post should be re-established or any new system adopted; without there fore going in this place into a detail of particular work, I will leave to remark, which will be appheable to 'any system, that as the ground in front widens and extends some way over the extremities of the work, par ticularly on the right--particular care should be taken to strengthen those points towards the fields, to counter act in some degree the advantage an enemy attacking might have in the extent of his flanks. The ba s, al though dismantled and in fFery bad condition, may be still repailed.
